The Elephant Self-Portrait Painting

There's a new craze in town. And it has nothing to do with celebrities and their phenomenal work-outs or fashion styles. It's about Dumbo who learns self-portrait painting on canvass, gets his video uploaded on YouTube, and become an instant star in a matter of days.

It's funny how people are amazed of this animal's talent in arts when it is already a given fact that an elephant's trunk is equipped with nearly a hundred thousand individual muscles – allowing it to do versatile tasks like the sensitive picking of a nut on the ground, the strong lifting of log, and the eccentricity of painting.

Seeing an elephant painting its own portrait on a canvass is really adorable that it makes the giant so tender and precious. However, canvass painting is not natural for elephants. So while some people are unbelieving to this scenario, there are others who condemned the elephant's painting task as inhuman (I mean, inanimal?) or unjust, I should say.
